Harris, also known as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nooney Bugg,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d pulled the car over on Highway 79 North near Rusk County, officials said, before he grabbed a pistol and shot both Ronnie Pearson, 20, and Jakari Hogan, 23.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hogan collapsed on the highway and as Harris was trying to move the body to the shoulder a passing motorist stopped to assist. Believing there had been an accident, the motorist told Harris he was calling 911,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d officials said. Harris then disposed of the murder weapon, got into the car and fled to Louisiana where officials said he abandoned the vehicle. Officials said the defense claimed Harris acted in self-defense, and the jury deliberated for several hours after five days of testimony before reaching their verdict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHEROKEE COUNTY \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Our news partners at KETK report that a man was found guilty on Monday of capital murder in the deaths of two people who were shot after a trail ride in Cherokee County.
